[Bug 21915] Re: esound causes desktop session to hang

I can reliably reproduce this on feisty as of the date of this comment.

The system logs in, gnome splashes and then the session load halts.

A quick ps x | grep esd shows
15060 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 1 -spawnfd 24
15061 ?        SL     0:00 /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 1 -spawnfd 24

Which leads me to believe that bug #86162 may also be related.
Killing off both esd instances lets gnome-session to continue loading.
